Ethiopia Grade 1 Chelelektu Yirga Cheffe at City +.
Very juicy cup. Hint of lemon, citrus and nuts. Very enjoyable. Not much berry flavor in this cup. Roasted 2 days ago.

Colombia "Dos Payasos de Tolima at FC+. w/ 3 days.
Nice deep earthy falvors with a slight nuttyness and some light baking spices.
The last few Colombian's I have roasted, tasted better after 4-5 days. Will have this one again in a couple.

Brazilian Fazenda No Name O, half at FC, half at FC+. Reminds me of the stuff I drank in brazil. Been trying finer grinds for the FP. Much more extraction with not too much in the bottom of the cup.

I grind pretty fine for my Press too. I just make sure I press slowly and I also make about 1/2 cup more that I will need So I dont have to pour out all the grounds from the pot into my cup.

Today was El Salvador Majahual Tablon La Montana at City+. Such a great bean. Nice Graham Cracker notes w/ some Light baking spice and citrus. Very juicy cup.
